The Autonerdz PicoQuad Kit
The latest generation of PicoScope automotive DSOs
This new scope offers a perfect balance of cost, ADC speed, and sample buffer, in a 12 bit four channel USB 2.0 interface platform. The performance is outstanding. The four channels share a 20mhz ADC and a huge 512,000 point sample buffer. Plug those specs into the Autonerdz Sample Rate Calculator J
With the new PicoScope 6 software, you can collect up to 2 million samples per channel on a single screen!!
This makes PicoScope the most powerful automotive lab scope on the planet.
>10x more sample rate power than any other choice.
The Autonerdz PicoQuad Kit is only $2590.00
This enhanced kit with our exclusive support package make this the best value anywhere.

· Toll Free Phone Support. No please hold hell or circular phone trees. Calls are usually answered the same day.
· Group Therapy With The Picotologist Sessions. These monthly live voice enabled Internet sessions enable users to interact with each other exchanging files as well as helpful tips and techniques.
· Email Support. This is often a great way to get your issue resolved. I can’t see what your doing on the phone but sending me your psd file allows me to see exactly what you are doing and helps me to give more exacting suggestions.
· The PicoScope CD. This CD contains hours of PicoScope training in Flash movie format and more. We have training on PicoScope 5 as well as the new PicoScope 6 versions. These will really help flatten that learning curve and turbocharge your PicoScope experience
· Personalized Assistance. When needed, we can get into your PC with you and provide direct assistance. This requires the installation of free VNC software.
· The Autonerdz Community Forums. Access to the PicoScope Users section of the Autonerdz Community Forums. Now including web delivered Flash tutorial movies. Also supplied on CD.
None of this is meant to replace the fine direct Pico Technology factory support. This package is meant to enhance your PicoScope experience. None of us has all the answers and some issues require factory support. Also, I reserve the right to go on vacation :-) Unlike the support subscription when purchased separately, the support package that comes with a kit purchase from Autonerdz does not expire as long as you own the equipment. However, if you upgrade your hardware purchasing from another supplier, obviously the support package no longer applies to you. Be sure to talk to us before purchasing a newer model PicoScope. Loyalty is well rewarded.
Our price for the Autonerdz PicoQuad kit is $2590.00. US S&H is $50.
